Star Power: Analyzing Addison Rae
Cosmic Shelf | Star Power
“Airhead” isn’t an insult when your Big Three are all air signs.
Addison Rae, America’s TikTok princess turned pop singer (“Diet Pepsi”, “Aquamarine”, “Headphones On”) was born October 6, 2000, at 10:26 PM in Lafayette, Louisiana. That makes her a Libra Sun, Aquarius Moon, and Gemini Rising. A charm cyclone and a PR dream with feelings.

The Air Trifecta
With her Sun, Moon, and Rising all in air signs, Addison doesn’t just have an air chart, she is air. She is a fast-talker and an even faster-thinker (especially with her Jupiter, which rules over expansion, in a communicative sign like Gemini). Air signs get a bad rep for being flaky, but the reality is they're intellectual and future-minded.
As a Libra Sun with Libra ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty and charm, Addison's allure is instant. But make no mistake: she's not just a pretty face or a bubbly sweetheart. She’s beauty and brains, and she knows how to use both.
Her Libra Sun lives in her fifth house of pleasure and creativity, which makes her romantic, aesthetic-driven, but also always in need of a fun outlet to stay sane. It's also the house of performance, so yes, she was built for this life.
But her Libra Sun rules her sixth house of health and routine, meaning her crushes or creative partners often overlap with her work life. (Think, dating your co-worker/co-stars). If Addison’s not having fun, she’s not functioning.
It might be surprising that Addison doesn’t have any Leo placements, but Leo rules the fifth house and besides her sun, it is home to her Mercury. So even without Leo in her chart, she still emulates its energy.
Aquarius Moon in the 8th House
The Aquarius Moon is the key to Addison’s celebrity. She has an innate ability to tap into the collective and become the moment. With Pluto transiting her Moon through 2028, her career will likely peak in intensity and quality. The next 20 years is especially critical for Leo and Aquarius placements. Expect the pop star’s best work to emerge during this time. But emotionally she is probably in the trenches. The 8th house is deep, transformative, and tied to shared finances, secrets, and shadow work.
More fame is finding her in the next four years, but she is feeling heavy.
Saturn at the Top of the Chart = Working Twice as Hard
Addison’s Saturn sits right on her Midheaven, the highest point of the chart meaning she's constantly being watched and critiqued. Saturn also rules her 12th house of hidden things, suggesting she’s had to sacrifice or isolate to reach her goals. She’s not someone who “just got lucky.” Even with her Fortuna asteroid on the Midheaven (hello, destined success), if I could give Addison one piece of advice it would be: connect with your ancestors. Saturn rewards legacy work and building an empire takes roots.
This placement also explains why Y2K nostalgia works so well for her. Saturn rules time and memory, which is why early 2000s references hit differently when Addison does them. Her obsession with Britney Spears is not random. Britney’s Libra Saturn falls in Addison’s fifth house of performance and self-expression. Addison truly sees Britney as a blueprint for her work on a soul level.
Venus in Scorpio Square Uranus
Addison’s Venus in Scorpio makes her a deep feeler in love. The energy is very ride or die, or “if I can’t have you, no one can.” But Venus doesn’t exactly love being in Scorpio, because it’s an intense and secretive placement (Notice we don’t really hear about her love life? She prefers it this way), and Venus wants peace and harmony. Add a square (tough aspect) to Uranus (volatility, surprises) in the Ninth house, and it gives “long-distance situationship that explodes mid-tour.” She craves intensity, but stability and commitment in love might be elusive, especially when she’s on the move.
Home Is Where the Conflict Is
Mars in her fourth house hints at a childhood marked by emotional turbulence. But with Mars ruling her 11th house of community, she’s channeled that need for safety into building family through friends. She's likely surrounded by strong male figures, or masculine energy that both inspires and challenges her.
Past Life Baggage, Present Life Purpose
With her North Node in Cancer, Addison’s soul purpose in this life is to feel things deeply. In a past life, she likely carried heavy karmic burdens, possibly involving public duty and again, fame. This life is a reward for her, and a chance to reconnect with the divine feminine and help other women do the same. She likely feels like she needs to constantly tap into her masculine energy or “hustle mode” and ironically, that makes life harder for her.
What’s Next for Addison?
This summer marks a karmic turning point in Addison’s chart especially in love and money. Relationships could deepen or take unexpected turns, and her finances are entering a more serious chapter. I wouldn’t be surprised if she buys property abroad or rekindles something (or someone) she’s better off leaving in the past.
Over the next year, there’s strong potential for a rebrand (another one) that I’m thinking could be a new beauty line or being signed to a new label.
With the South Node in Virgo transiting her fourth house, Addison is being asked to release outdated definitions of family and home. This is a time to step away from perfectionism around her private life and redefine what privacy actually means. Who is Addison when no one’s watching? That’s the question she’s meant to answer now.
Letting go of “the rules” will unlock her next era. And of course, it’s a career-focused one.
